We support a large variety of modern video formats.
Our recommended format is:
- Container: MP4
- Video Codec: H264
- Audio Codec: AAC
This format can be used by the most amount of people and does not require guests to download special programs or codecs.
We recommend, when encoding video, to make the video "streamable" if you are presented with that option when exporting videos.
GoPro
By default GoPro HERO cameras record in the correct format.
If using the GoPro Studio export, we recommend not exporting for "Archive/Edit". This format will require guests to download extra tools and may not properly generate a preview. All other export default formats will be in MP4 & H264 format.
